After six direct matches without victories, Cisterna Volley returns to the court at the Palasport in Viale delle Provincie to face Itas Trentino in Game 2 of the Quarter Finals of the Playoff Scudetto on Sunday 16 March at 18:00 (live on RAI – VBTV). Coming off a defeat in the opening match of the series at the ilT quotidiano Arena, coach Falasca’s boys are determined to redeem themselves in front of their fans and to win their first historic victory against the Trentino team.
THE OPPONENT – In the first match of the series, Cisterna Volley showed a good start, only to then suffer the increasing pace imposed by Trento, led by a brilliant Kamil Rychlicki, MVP of Game 1. The team coached by Fabio Soli showed great defensive solidity and excellent effectiveness in serving and attack. After the first act of the quarterfinals, Itas Trentino also obtained a comeback victory in the tie-break against Ziraat Bank Ankara in the first leg of the CEV Cup Semifinal, played last Wednesday.
